Actually we need FTAA. The faster we destroy our economy the better. Everybody needs a good depression to get their head straightened out. Materialism will mean far less when the belly is empty. I witnessed this in East Europe when the Russians took over. Those poor starved wretches I helped out of the Elbe River after escaping from the Commies were far more appreciative of freedom after running the gauntlet of mines, dogs, and machine gun guards. We need a good dose of national socialism, political correctness, and authoritarian government to get the true values in life sorted out.
